Bionect Start Ointment 30 g

Bionect Start

CE 0373 medical device.
Fluid ointment for topical application containing hyaluronic acid sodium salt from bacterial fermentation as the main component, and bacterial collagenase obtained from Vibrio alginolyticus as an incorporated medicinal substance. During the wound bed preparation phase, Bionect Start promotes the healing process and protects newly formed tissue thanks to the moisturising action of hyaluronic acid. Indeed, wound healing takes place more quickly in a moist environment. Bacterial collagenase supports wound bed preparation.
Indicated for the local treatment of chronic ulcers with necrotic or fibrinous tissue (i.e. pressure sores, vascular leg ulcers, diabetic ulcers), promoting their debridement. In particular, it is indicated to provide an optimal moist environment and wound bed preparation that facilitate the natural healing process.

Ingredients
Main component: hyaluronic acid sodium salt 0.2%. Other components: collagenase (not less than 2.0 nkat/g of ointment¹), light liquid paraffin, white petrolatum.
